Baird Private Equity, the global private equity group affiliated with Milwaukee-based Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc., today announced the creation of Baird Capital Partners Asia (BCPA).
The new investment team is focused on providing growth equity capital to smaller, high-potential companies in China or with substantial operations and growth opportunities in greater China.
Chicago-based Baird Private Equity and its affiliates have raised and managed more than $2.4 billion in venture and buyout capital across the U.S. and European markets.
"We see an attractive number of investment opportunities in greater China, and BCPA's investment strategy is a natural extension of our proven success in Asia," said Paul Carbone, director of Baird Private Equity. "As private equity has flowed into China, smaller high potential companies have been left behind. Few investors in the region focused on these size companies can offer the global operating resources and relationships that Baird can provide."
"Baird Capital Partners Asia is well-positioned to support smaller, high-growth companies and their management teams as they look to grow their businesses in Asia, Europe and the United States," said Huaming Gu, partner of Baird Capital Partners Asia. "BCPA is the ideal partner for companies in China that want access to our global footprint, financial resources and operating expertise."
Through offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, the team will seek growth equity investment opportunities that complement Baird Private Equity's global operating resources and expertise in the business services, manufactured products and health care sectors.
